Masked and Armed Home Invader Shot in Self Defense

A masked and armed intruder was fatally shot in self defense by the owner of a Cartersville, KY home.

As reported, 40 year old Dallas Helton, of Paint Lick, KY, was allegedly wearing a ski mask and gloves, while carrying a crow bar, as he broke in to a Cartersville, KY home. The owner of the rural home fired one shot in self defense, saving himself from violent attack, and fatally wounding the home invader. The home owner then called police, who found two people waiting outside the home in a car. Police reportedly arrested Tanya A. Fowler, the deceased home invader’s wife, and a juvenile identified as their son. Fowler has reportedly been charged with complicity to commit burglary in the second degree, and the juvenile was released to the custody of relatives.
